  • E7: My First Spanish Podcast- Mate Session with 2 Argentinos
    This is a great achievement for me to be able to post a podcast in Spanish. I have been trying to improve since living in Latin America and I certainly prove that here. A mate session is a huge social thing for Argentinians as they drink hot water and herbs out of a cup through a metal straw. It is hard to understand until you do it and it’s great to stimulate conversation (great when you record conversations for your podcast)! If you don’t understand then share with a Spanish speak, who knows they might be able to get some value and see that it is more than backpacking.

  • E3: Nicaraguan Refugee Explains Why She Can't Go Back Home
    Episode 3 of the More Than Backpacing Podcast sees me talk to Nicaraguan who cannot go back to her home country because of the corrupt government and failing systems making it not safe there for her. Helen was volunteering in the Hostel I was in whilst in Costa Rica, and we had a great chat over lunch where she explained some of the madness that is going on.
    Nicaragua was a great part of my journey with @JustThreeAmigos where we volunteered in schools, construction and local people, and it is a shame to see such a beautiful country in a bad way. It really does make me count my blessings more to have had the life I have had, and be able to go back to a safe and loving home.
    Please leave a review if you have a few minutes to spare as it really helps our ratings.

  • E2: Travel Alone Even If You Are With Your Partner
    Episode 2 of the More Than Backpacking Podcast is a great conversation with a Swiss couple who were worried that they were bored of travelling and needed to re-light the fire of their 'Trip'.
    We had a great conversation covering how travelling together can lead to too many of the same conversations and spending time apart even from your partner can help stimulate your desire to travel, and live.
    I believe it was a great conversation for them as they decided to book a flight and leave for the airport before breakfast the next day!
    If you can leave us a review it only takes 2 minutes and it really helps us and our ratings!

  • E1: Volunteer Abroad in Costa Rica: Carlye Stevens, Ohio
    Welcome to the FIRST EVER episode of the More Than Backpacking Podcast !!!
    Today’s episode is a conversation I had with Carlye Stevens, a 20 year old girl from Cleveland, Ohio. This happened Whilst I was volunteering in a hostel in Costa Rica, and Carlye came to sit at the reception desk whilst I was on duty! I didn’t know Carlye or anything about her apart from knowing she was from Cleveland and loved Lebron James and we actually had this conversation just before the Cavs lost the NBA finals in game 4 which she was not best pleased about!
    We learned a lot and Carlye was a great sport for the Podcast so Thank You to Carlye.
    Please give me some feedback, and help me out by leaving a review if you found it valuable and sharing it with someone or more than one who you think it will be valuable for them.
    Enjoy the show!
